<div id="yui_3_2_0_1_13196425479051013">Boston Comedy Legend Barry
Crimmins gets baked in Boston</div>
<div>The Boston Comedy Festival is cooking up a welcome back roast
and toast for Barry Crimmins, the comic and producer whose hard
work, vision and terrific sense of humor helped bring the Boston
Comedy scene into the modern era. Crimmins founded the fabled <em>Ding
Ho Comedy Club</em> in Cambridge and then later was pivotal in
starting <em>Stitches</em> in Boston. These clubs were where
Steven Wright, Paula Poundstone, Bobcat Goldthwait, Kevin Meaney,
Jimmy Tingle and many, many others cut their comedic
teeth.Crimmins has gone on to make a name for himself as an
internationally renowned political satirist. He is the author of <em>Never
Shake Hands With A War Criminal</em> (7 Stories Press)</div>
<div>This tribute will be hosted by Boston comedy legend Tony V. The
dais will be jammed with noted wits rarely seen on the same stage,
including: Jimmy Tingle, Steve Sweeney, Mike McDonald, Randy
Credico, Boston Globe cartoonist Dan Wasserman, The Steamy
Bohemians – Niki Luparelli, Lainey Schulbaum and John Ennis (<em>Mr
Show, Studio 60</em>). This lineup of all-star talent is sure to
fricassee your funny bone so expect great laughs, celebrity
surprises, topped off words from the wizened and hilarious
forefather of our Boston comedy scene. The fun begins at the
Charles Playhouse Wednesday, Nov. 9 at 8 pm</div>
